This document provides notes and examples on alternating series from week 12 of a math class. It defines an alternating series as a series whose terms alternate in sign. It presents the tests for determining if an alternating series converges absolutely or condition ally. Specifically, it states that an alternating series converges if the terms approach zero and do not increase in magnitude. It also provides examples of approximating the sum of convergent alternating series.

If an alteinating seiies conveiges, it can be classifieu as eithei absolutely conveigent oi conuitionally conveigent.
If the seiies ! n a is conveigent, then ! n a is conveigent. We say that ! n a is 8./%012"0> #%45"67"42.

If a convergent alternating series satisfies the condition 0 < a n+1 < a n , then the remainder R N involved in approximating the sum S by S N is less in magnitude than the first neglected (truncated) term. That is, 1 N N N R S S a + = ! "
Examples: 1. Appioximate the sum of ( ) 1 1 1 1 ! n n n ! + = " # $ % & ' ( ) by its fiist six teims anu finu the eiioi.
